Roughly 700 cases of liver damage were reported to the program during the period of the study; 130 of those cases were linked to dietary supplements. (That likely underestimates the extent of the problem, since the network tracks only severe cases of liver damage caused by drugs and supplements, and some cases may go unreported.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The greatest risk seems to be with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/vitamins-supplements\/feds-endict-usplabs-for-tainted-supplements\/\">bodybuilding<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/vitamins-supplements\/we-made-this-weight-loss-supplement\/\">weight-loss supplements<\/a>, according to the report, which was published in the journal Hepatology by Victor Navarro, M.D., a liver expert at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, and colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parbase section text\">\n<div class=\"text-container\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Those bodybuilding and weight-loss products were responsible for about half of the cases of liver damage linked to supplements, the study found. But the researchers said that some supplements marketed for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/vitamins-supplements\/truth-about-omega-3-supplements-and-st-johns-wort-for-depression\/\">depression<\/a>, digestive upset, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/cro\/news\/2014\/10\/these-herbal-sex-supplements-really-work\/index.htm\">sexual performance<\/a>, and other purposes were also implicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Most of the supplements contained multiple ingredients, so the researchers weren\u2019t always able to pinpoint the harmful substance. In addition, dietary supplements are sometimes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/health\/weight-loss-supplements-found-to-contain-a-dangerous-drug-\/\">illegally spiked<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/vitamins-supplements\/supplement-and-drug-interactions\/\">prescription drugs<\/a>or other ingredients that aren\u2019t included on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/vitamins-supplements\/what-supplement-labels-mean-and-dont\/\">label<\/a>, making it even harder to identify the culprit, says Marvin M.
